Love this bakery!! We recently ordered our baby shower cake through them and not only was this thing HUGE, which was perfect for our event, but it tasted better than it looked! All of our guest loved and raved over how amazing the filling was and how light the icing is, most buttercreams are overly sweet, but not theirs, this one was perfect!!! We ordered the chocolate and vanilla cake and the owner was so kind to change the icing color up for us to match our theme perfectly, which worked great because I had a topper and some cake decorations I wanted to add onto it myself anyways. I highly recommend this place for any event cake as they will not disappoint!!

We booked Gateaux to make our wedding cake and dessert bar and deliver them to our wedding venue. The cake was so beautiful and delicious and the dessert bar was exactly what we were hoping for! We met with Michelle for a tasting, and she was so helpful, patient, and kind. She helped us narrow down the number of desserts we needed based on our guest count, as well as decide on a good variety of dessert types. Michelle really helped us solidify our vision for the entire dessert set up, including our cutting cake, which was one of the best cakes I've ever had. Would absolutely recommend working with Gateaux for your wedding or any other event!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle and Gateaux Bakery! My daughter was married in July, and just five weeks before the wedding, her original bakery canceled her cake and dessert bar order. I reached out to Gateaux, and Michelle was absolutely amazing - so kind, understanding, and eager to help. She immediately reassured me that everything would be perfect and went above and beyond to make sure my daughter never knew there had been an issue. Not only was Michelle a joy to work with, but the wedding cake and dessert bar were stunning and absolutely delicious! Truly, the cancellation from the first bakery turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Gateaux exceeded every expectation. We are so grateful to Michelle for saving the day - she made a stressful situation effortless and created something beautiful and memorable. Thank you, Michelle, for making my daughter's wedding sweeter than we could have ever imagined.

I ordered my boyfriend's birthday cake here. The cake was the swedish princess cake. It was $57 and worth every penny. It was absolutely delicious and the presentation was perfect. The staff was very sweet and patient with me on the phone as this was my first time ordering. I would absolutely recommend this bakery especially for birthday cakes. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
